One of the biggest difficulties of the route at present is the lack of earth mines or the fact that there are mines but they are not enough to meet the requirements. Some mines cannot be exploited due to obstruction by local people, such as Eo Gio mine in Hung Tay commune. In Dien Chau district, there are still 6 households stuck on the road leading to the overpass across Dien Doai commune. Contractors are overcoming difficulties to complete the progress as required.
